How Galileo enhances positioning in your smartphones Jacopo Ovarelli GeoIT Navigation Talks 6h September, Berlin
Galileo is the European GNSS and GSA is in charge of „bringing it to the users” Worldwide navigation system “made in EU” Fully interoperable with GPS Open service free of charge, delivering dual frequencies 18 satellites already launched Initial Service Capability declared in December 2016 and ready to be used today in consumer devices The GSA’s mission is to support European Union objectives and achieve the highest return on European GNSS investment, in terms of benefits to users and economic growth and competitiveness Staff: c.a. 135 Nationalities: 21 Headquarters: Prague 2
Galileo implementation has reached initial services Galileo is implemented in a step-wise approach 18 satellites have been launched 12 satellites are in production/being procured Initial Services 2016 Open Service (OS) Search and Rescue Service (SAR) Public Regulated Service (PRS) and demonstrator for Commercial Service (CS) 2018/2019 Test signal for OS Navigation Message Authentication (OS-NMA) 2020 Full Operational Capability All services, 30 satellites 3 An independent civilian infrastructure
European GNSS systems increasingly adopted by solution providers and users GNSS technology has been included in the The first European smartphone using European Railway Traffic Management Galileo launched in July 2016 System roadmap in view of its expected operational and safety benefits EGNOS leadership with 72% of farmers using GNSS, thanks to partnerships Galileo recognized by the with tractor manufacturers actively International Maritime Organization promoting EGNOS affordable accuracy as a “World Wide Radio Navigation System” for the use in regulated domains EGNOS integrated in 100% of newly sold handheld mapping devices, Galileo widely adopted in surveying equipment Road tolling: EGNOS already implemented in 4 European schemes Regulated applications: eCall and Digital Tachograph regulations 391 EGNOS based approach procedures leveraging EGNSS in 209 airports in 19 EU countries 4
Galileo is increasingly supported in mobile devices • July 2016: BQ Aquaris x5 was the first Galileo-enabled phones ever released • November 2016: Huawei Mate 9 • March 2017: • Huawei P10 • Sony Xperia XZ premium • Samsung S8 • June 2017 • Oneplus 5 5
The Galileo differentiators in mass market devices Multi-constellation Development of new value- Data-less signal of added services Galileo NMA Galileo Authentication Enhancement of offered ones Multipath Resistant = Galileo together other GNSS = Galileo differentiators
GNSS Raw Measurement as enabler of innovative location based applications • With the release of Android Nougat in August 2016, raw GNSS measurements can be accessed in android smartphones: ‒ Pseudo-range and pseudo-range rate ‒ Navigation messages ‒ Accumulated delta range or carrier ‒ Hardware (HW) clock • This allows to move away from the black-box concept of the GNSS receiver and opens up the possibilities of deriving more accurate positioning 7
GNSS Raw Measurement Task Force by GSA • Objectives of the Task Force ‒ To share experiences from testing and use of GNSS raw measurements on smartphones and wearables ‒ To popularize the use of raw measurements among app developers • Tools: ‒ Publication of white paper, containing 1. The overview on how to use GNSS raw measurements 2. What is possible today: results of testing and case studies, what are the benefits of using raw measurements vs. regular chipset outputs 3. What is coming in near future: how the raw measurements use may be extended with double frequency, carrier phase etc. ‒ Development of open source API for Android developers facilitating the use of raw measurements 8
How the market will take advantage of enhanced positioning? Application fields impacted: Commercial • Location-based advertising applications • Augmented reality • GNSS-enabled 112 emergency call Safety-related • m-health • Smart mobility • ADAS applications Automotive • Autonomous cars Semi-professional • Precision agriculture • Workforce management applications • Mapping • Smart city asset management 11
Location based advertising “Up to 60% of ad requests contain some form of location data. Of these requests, less than ⅓ are accurate within 50-100 meters of the stated location” “The location information and data which is currently available for mobile marketers can provide excellent value, even though there is room for greater accuracy in order to reach increasingly more granular data” 12 http://www.mmaglobal.com/files/documents/location-data-accuracy-v3.pdf
Augmented reality Information and ads better targeted to POI Enhanced accuracy for further engage players Source: Apple More “The future of AR is very much tied to the precision to accuracy of location data, and no rapid influx of design venture capital or sudden rush of consumer buildings interest can advance that on its own” 13 David Semerad, CEO of STRV
GNSS-enabled 112 emergency call • Information about how to access the location of the emergency can reduce radically the time of the intervention • Medical research indicates that one minute reduction in response time improves the odds of survival by 24%* • The use of GNSS already enhances the caller location accuracy, but every further meter gained can save lives 14 *Source: emj.bmj.com/content/early/2010/08/25/emj.2009.086363.abstract)
Well being and sport & fitness Well being: • Visual impaired apps • Tele monitoring by PERS (Personal Emergency Response Services) Sports and fitness • Tracking apps for both pro and consumer segments • Augmented reality apps 15
Smart mobility 16
Autonomous cars • Autonomous vehicles require a level of accuracy that can enable lane decisions • This level of accuracy is currently achievable only by applying RTK techniques to GNSS • Dual frequency receivers can help achieving the needed accuracy without the use of RTK 17
Advanced driver-assistance systems applications Adaptive cruise control Automated Lane platoon warning driving Semi- Collision automated warning collision (combined avoidance with V2V) Semi- automated lane control 18
Semi-Professional applications From “specific devices intended for a professional use” to “mass-market devices for a (semi) professional use” 19
